Chapter 4 4. Love Bet

"Hey you? Do I look like a little girl or a sexy woman?" Aliya even deliberately twisted her body until the male servants rolled their eyes and Vero groaned in annoyance.

Vero took off his gloves and lifted Aliya onto his shoulder. "You guys finish it and bring it to my room, remember, make a lot."

"Okay, sir."

"Sir, put me down!" Aliya shouted. But Vero ignored it at all.

Vero slowly lowered Aliya to sit down, then he exhaled slowly, holding back her emotions. The coquettish Aliya didn't want to be silent because she immediately raised one of her eyebrows curiously.

"Mr. Vero is jealous? Oh my goodness, you've started to hunt?" Aliya was too confident.

Vero smiled and tidied up his clothes and put the buttons back on. Her hands also painstakingly tied Aliya's hair slowly until Aliya was completely fascinated by the distance between her face that was too close.

"You I consider myself my own nephew, you remind me of the daughter of my sister in the past. She's as cheerful as you, coquettish and shameless. Don't like other alibi about me. I can't possibly love you, little girl."

"Is it in your eyes that I'm like a little girl? I'll even be a woman soon, soon I'll graduate and I'll be ready to marry you! Let's bet?"

"Bet? What for?" Vero asked.

"Give me just three months, I'll make you fall in love with me. Although I'm sure that even one month is enough for you to adore me." Aliya spoke seriously and confidently.

Vero laughed and was completely entertained this time. How could it not? He is underestimated by a little girl who had indeed been considered his own nephew.

"Aliya Richard, I'm not a good person and our ages are also fifteen years apart. There are still many young and good men out there for you." Vero replied.

"Age does not prevent a person from loving each other. Whether you're good or bad also depends on which side I judge it. You will always be good in my eyes." Aliya said.

"Don't argue anymore, I'm lazy to-"

Aliya kissed Vero's lips three times until Vero immediately silently sculpted. Aliya smiled shamelessly and even felt proud by smashing Vero's lips again who were just silent without reacting.

"Aliya!" Vero immediately pushed him violently until Aliya wiggled her lips. Aliya fell until her forehead was hit.

Vero who realized immediately grabbed it and saw a bruise on Aliya's forehead. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Vero blew Aliya's forehead while rubbing it gently. "You shouldn't have done that, Aliya. You can kiss me, but not on the lips. Eyebrows and cheeks, that's fine." Vero said.

Aliya was just silent and didn't hear all of Vero's words. His heart was too noisy with a very uncontrolled heartbeat. They feasted on Vero's very gentle attention.

'Oh my gosh! I could die young if I couldn't get him! How can this handsome man be so gentle and kind? He should be mine!' Aliya was happy in her heart.

Vero kissed Aliya's bruised forehead. "Still sick?" asked Vero.

"Arghh, it hurts so much. Kiss again, kiss the old one again!" Aliya shouted, pretending. Vero laughed and realized this was just a hoax, but he also felt guilty about the bruise on Aliya's forehead.

Vero kissed her for a long time then Aliya hugged Vero's waist tightly. Vero kept quiet because he just wanted his girl to be happy. The child of the woman he loves the most is Aliya.

Although the DNA test results have not yet come out, he is sure of Aliya's resemblance to Sofia – her ex-girlfriend and adoptive sister before they became lovers. Vero's age is indeed younger than Sofia's. Until finally Sofia went to America to study, when she came home her stomach was already pregnant without a husband.

Vero was very disappointed in the betrayal. However, his love diverted everything and he accepted Sofia and her child until she was born and five years old. After all, Sofia had no one but herself.

After that, Sofia took her daughter back to America and left Vero while Vero was doing the duties of his adoptive father, who was the head of the mafia group. Her heart is broken to pieces when she finds out that Sofia returned to the man who impregnated her and betrayed her again.

No matter how far Vero searched for him, the results were nil. But the last news he received was that Sofia had died. It also coincides with Vero's adoptive father who died because he was killed by Owen Zachary, the most powerful mafia leader in America.

"Vero, I love you." Aliya said.

Vero fell silent and distanced himself from Aliya. That will never happen. If Aliya is Sofia's child, then she will be her own nephew or child like before.

"Aliya, keep your word!"

"Loving you is my right, so don't forbid me. I bet in three months you will definitely be mine. You're going to fall in love with me!" Aliya defied loudly.

"If in three months I don't love you, then you should consider me your uncle and act like a spoiled little girl to her uncle and not to her lover. Agree?" Vero asked.

"Agreed, but surely you will be my lover! Aliya is the most beautiful and most charming woman for men. Only a stupid man can resist my charm." Aliya twisted her body in her coherent style and then Vero immediately hugged her tightly, because everything Aliya said was Sofia's words in the past.

"Aliya, you're exactly like your mother." Vero was still hugging him while closing his eyes. The reason Vero doesn't want to fall in love anymore is only one, forever his love is only for Sofia even though he has been betrayed. However, now a part of his woman is already in front of him.

"Am I really that old? I'm a beautiful, cute, and sexy woman. Wait for me to grow up and be the woman you will always see and want to have. Make me your woman then." Aliya spoke spoiledly with her cuteness.

"Didn't I become a grandfather back then? You will turn away and love another handsome man. Grow up well and be a woman who always lives happily and always smiles, my little girl." Vero ruffled his hair adorably.

"A handsome old grandfather and the father of my children, then we live happily like the story of the novel titled My Uncle is My Handsome Grandpa!" Aliya said excitedly.

Vero laughed and said, "You are adorable. Little girl, read less novels and learn more." Vero gave advice.

"I always study every day, don't accuse without evidence!" Aliya replied out of annoyance.

"Really? Show me the results." Vero spoke without looking at Aliya because he was busy with her food.

"I've always learned to be the woman you want to be, and I've always learned to be the best wife for you, Vero!" Aliya shouted and Vero put shushi in Aliya's mouth to keep quiet and not act.

"Stop talking and eat a lot. Your body is too thin for a woman's size. You look like a little girl." Vero teased mischief by blinking one of his eyes.

Aliya was so fascinated that she silently sculpted and ate her shushi slowly without wanting to speak again. Aliya smiled silently because she was happy. His teacher is indeed very charming, and she would be crazy if she couldn't get Vero.
